USGS Historical Map Collection Now Online

Nearly 90,000 high resolution scans of the more than 200,000 historical USGS topographic maps, some dating as far back as 1884, are now available online. The Historical Topographic Map Collection includes published U.S. maps of all scales and editions, and are offered as a georeferenced digital download or as a scanned print from the USGS Store.

Historical maps are available to the public at no cost in TerraGo GeoPDF format or as a printed copy for $15 plus a $5 handling charge from the USGS Store. The electronic maps are georeferenced and can be used in conjunction with the new USGS digital topographic map, the U.S. Topo.
